Of course those 5 years would include all Willard's write-offs following the crash of '07-'08 and bringing onshore several millions without paying any taxes in '09. Very good move and be assured that Willard will resist thus keeping this an issue for more news cycles. As some talking head pointed out this morning the longer he avoids disclosure the more he appears to have committed something illegal. He can't talk it away, he has to put up some documentation.
